We are in the UK. Each county is run by a local council, mor example, Moray Council,Perthshire council, Edinburgh council etc, and we have the Scottish NHS and the English NHS. Home births are covered by the NHS, you can of course pay for a midwife who is private but I've never heard of anyone doing so. The mws here are very good, in my county anyway. I didn't home birth because of my previous cs with autumn and the fact that my amniotic fluid disappeared so the last 3 babies needed to be induced because it was getting dangerous for them. But home birth is supported here in my county and I believe it's the same all over the UK. Dh's Aunt had 4 himebirths, I think H (her last) is in her teens now and their eldest (D died from leukemia when she was 10) would've been 25 and I believe she had a hb with her too. There are usually 2 mws on duty during a hb and all are highly trained. It's 100% covered by the NHS. The only thing you'd need to pay out for was anything extra you particularly wanted.

I should also say his aunt is in England so she is covered by the English NHS and I am covered by the Scottish NHS.
